King James Translators' Notes

shall long...: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

22. They shall not experience the curse pronounced (Le 26:16; De 28:30).

tree-among the most long-lived of objects in nature. They shall live as long as the trees they "plant" (compare Isa 61:3, end of verse; Ps 92:12).

enjoy-Hebrew, "consume," "wear out"; they shall live to enjoy the last of it (Isa 62:9).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

65:17-25 In the grace and comfort believers have in and from Christ, we are to look for this new heaven and new earth. The former confusions, sins and miseries of the human race, shall be no more remembered or renewed. The approaching happy state of the church is described under a variety of images. He shall be thought to die in his youth, and for his sins, who only lives to the age of a hundred years. The event alone can determine what is meant; but it is plain that Christianity, if universal, would so do away violence and evil, as greatly to lengthen life. In those happy days, all God's people shall enjoy the fruit of their labours. Nor will children then be the trouble of their parents, or suffer trouble themselves. The evil dispositions of sinners shall be completely moritified; all shall live in harmony. Thus the church on earth shall be full of happiness, like heaven. This prophecy assures the servants of Christ, that the time approaches, wherein they shall be blessed with the undisturbed enjoyment of all that is needful for their happiness. As workers together with God, let us attend his ordinances, and obey his commands.

Psalm 21:4 He asked life of You, You gave it to him, Length of days forever and ever.

Psalm 91:16 "With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation."

Psalm 92:12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Isaiah 62:8 The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, "I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies; Nor will foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored."
